effective market analysis, an essential element of successful export
strategies.

The aim of our programs is ultimately to
train participants in-depth so that they are in a position to further
disseminate the tools, methodologies, skills and derived analysis to
their colleagues and constituencies, including enterprises seeking
potential export markets. To this end, we aim to build long- term
relationship with participating institutions and regularly follow up our
training with refreshed course material and new courses.
Our workshops are conducted with small groups and include discussions
as well as interactive exercises to improve learning absorption and to
make it easier for course content to be adapted to the specific needs of
our partner institutions.
Our capacity building activities also endeavour to improve networking
and information exchange between the private and public sectors and to
foster effective cooperation among various institutions with an interest
in international trade.
The costs for Market Analysis and Research capacity building workshops /
seminars depend on their length and content. Currently we are also
developing training material that can be delivered via web-based
distance learning platforms.
